Christian Education
Sunday School for grades 6-12 is held each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m.  Learning methods include Bible study, group discussions and videos designed for young people.  Fun, fellowship and donuts are often included, too!

Youth Group
All youth in grades 6-12 are encouraged to participate in the Sunday afternoon youth group activities.  Following morning worship, the group shares lunch together in the fellowship hall and then enjoys a time of recreation, fun and games.  The Bible study or program activity concludes by 2:30 p.m. 

Annually, the youth of the church lead worship for the congregation on Youth Sunday.  They write, prepare, practice and then lead in every aspect of the service. 

The group also works to raise funds for summer camp, including preparing church luncheons and a bidding auction each spring.  The young people look forward to the Easter week Prayer Retreat (a 12 hour experience at the church) as they prepare to welcome the Risen Christ.  They enjoy service projects for the church and the community include picking fruit for the elderly, sorting food at the food pantry, singing carols at the nursing home, hugging puppies at the guide dog center, etc.

The summer ski excursions, concerts and swim parties are always a hit!

Vacation Bible School
The teenagers are included in the summer VBS experience where they sharpen their drama skills.  Short skits are prepared each night and then shared with the total group – great experience in stage presence and public speaking.

Summer Church Camp
A week of exciting, life-changing camp is offered to those in grades 3-12 each summer at the Christian Church Conference Center in Silver Springs.  Those in high school are also invited to attend the weekend events of Jigsaw (for leadership training) and the Christian Youth Fellowship Assembly in the spring.

Mission/Work Trip
Most summers, a work trip for intensive spiritual growth while serving people in need is offered.  In previous years, the youth have participated in disaster and poverty relief work and outreach in North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky and the Florida Keys.
